Connor Richards

Level 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Nick Ahmadi completed on the button and Ran Kadur checked his option in the big blind.

Kadur bet 1,600,000 on the flop of J♦J♣4♠ and Ahmadi called. Kadur then bet 2,500,000 on the 5♠ turn and Ahmadi raised to 8,700,000. Kadur called.

Kadur checked on the 9♦ river and Ahmadi moved all in. Kadur gave it some thought and called with his remaining stack of around 30,000,000.

Ahmadi tabled J♠2♣ for trip jacks and it was good to win the pot and tournament as Kadur was forced to show K♦5♣.

Nicolas Godard: K♦Q♠ All in
Nick Ahmadi: K♠K♣

Level 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Nick Ahmadi opened the button to 3,700,000 and Jorge Dominguez shoved from the small blind for around 26,000,000. Once it got back to Ahmadi, he quickly rechecked his cards and then put a stack of chips into the pot to make the call.

Jorge Dominguez: A♣J♣ All in
Nick Ahmadi: K♠K♥

Ahmadi had Dominguez on the ropes with his cowboys, but the J♥Q♣2♦ flop did give the Argentinian player a few extra outs. A K♣ on the turn gave Ahmadi a set, but also improved Dominguez to an elusive Royal Flush draw.

However, it wasn't to be for Dominguez as the 8♦ hit the river, leaving him on the rail in fourth.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Nick Ahmadi was putting pressure on the two short stacks to his left, and shoved from the small blind & the button without any pushback.

In the next hand, Ahmadi raised to 2,700,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Schill shoved for around 15,000,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Ahmadi, he called.

Daniel Schill: K♦J♠ All in
Nick Ahmadi: 10♦10♠

"It's a flip," said Schill to his rail.

Ahmadi was looking to thin the field down by one, and succeeded in his quest as the 8♥2♠5♠8♦Q♥ runout kept his pocket tens in the lead, leaving the start-of-day chip leader out in fifth.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nick Ahmadi	75,000,000 24,000,000	24,000,000

Nicolas Godard	42,000,000 8,000,000	8,000,000

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Daniel Schill opened to 2,000,000 in the hijack and Jason Li three-bet jammed his stack of less than five big blinds from the big blind. Schill called to put Li at risk.

Jason Li: Q♥10♥ All in
Daniel Schill: A♣J♣

The flop of 9♣K♣2♠ didn't change much but the 10♠ turn gave Li a short-lived lead before the 6♣ river gave Schill a flush to confirm Li as the first elimination of the day.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Schill	51,000,000 9,500,000	9,500,000
